Born in Luxembourg and educated in New York, pianist and composer Francesco Tristano is as much at home in the world of the classical masters and jazz as he is in electronic and experimental music. A first-rate Bach player, he is recording all the keyboard works of the Baroque master, while he has creative energies to spare for electronic music: Francesco Tristano seeks the possibility of ecstasy in all kinds of music. He thinks piano and the synthesizer are the equals of each other, and it is natural for him to adapt electronic dance music from Detroit to the piano, or to use the possibilities offered by electronics to throw new light on the familiar sound of classical piano compositions. He performs with some of the finest symphony orchestras and records for prestigious labels such as Deutsche Grammophon. He often collaborates with musicians from the most diverse genres, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Michel Portal, Derrick May, Carl Craig and Jeff Mills.
Program and cast
Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
